I have been researching a lot on this topic and thought its be great to seek assistance from all you people here, please advice the best you all can!

I am residing in New Delhi (India) and my BF is in Charlotte, NC (USA). We have been together for 3 years. He is a divorcee and has all his documentation complete. We want to get married in India by Nov'13. Our relation is 3yrs long and we have enough proofs to authenticate the same.
Can someone advice us the best visa and correct way to get through the process. I have been to US on Tourist visa in 2012 and he has been to India on tourist as well.
For the marriage he wont be able to come for more then 2 weeks, we would like to return together after settling all formalities.
Can I get the depandant visa this fast? How many days does it take after registered marriage to get these formalities completed?

A dependent visa takes awhile. You have to appear for an interview, etc. Two weeks not very likely and short term marriages get looked at more closely. I suggest the above but don't mention marriage. How long will you be able to stay on tourist visa? If you think the consulate is slow you should see the INS (#$^%&*(@). Best of luck as one who succeeded finally..

This is incorrect advice. While each case is unique, there are guidelines that case officers follow. The OP is likely to trip over on entering the country without appropriate visa.

No, it is not easy, and it is not fast. Not days, but months. My south american friend had to wait 13 months, (plus he had to go through a grilling interview at the US mission) after marriage to come to the US on an immigrant visa. So keep your expectation low; anything better would be just a boon.

There are some challenges in this case. While the OP could check out the consulate website to see if there is an advance process for an interview date there may also be a paperwork requirement just to get that appointment. It is highly likely that there will be intense scrutiny of a an application close to a marriage so the documentation of the long term relationship may be useful. They do have their "flags" as mentioned. Hopefully, this isn't the case. Don't want to say more because the bride may back out. However, lacking those the interview can be modest. Mine was over in an hour in which I don't recall my spouse even being spoken to (the alumni ring effect). Individual officers are very quirky. One I met argued that pretty girls should get a priority (hear, hear). My neice still celebrates her student visa approval date after all these years in the US. No comment..

I do not understand SMS, just like you are unlikely to understand lisp. How can you sail in the same boat without knowing the circumstances. B2 and K visas are mutually exclusive, so what is it that you are looking for and for whom ?

1. Yes one can get married on a Tourist visa.

Is it offence in US to get married on a Toruist visa and allowed in India?
